INTERACTION BETWEEN PARENTS AND ADOLESCENTS IN FAMILIES WITH TOBACCO ADDICTION

The paper deals with the peculiarities of interaction between parents and adolescents within a family with to-bacco addiction. Adolescence is a main period for the initiation of tobacco use and the formation of tobacco addic-tion. In psychology, the role of the family, in particular parent-child relationships, in the formation of addictive be-havior is considered as a defect in socialization or a symptom of family relationships dysfunction. The perception of the impact of smoking on family functioning affects parent-child relationships and mediates the adolescent's attitude to smoking as a social phenomenon. The study involved 134 two-parent families, which included at least one smoker. The respondents were mothers and fathers aged from 35 to 50 years (N = 268) and their children aged from 12 to 17 (N = 134). In the empirical study, The Effect of Smoking on Family Functioning Inventory by V.O. Kramchenkova and The Parent-Child Interaction Inventory by I. M. Markovskaya were used. The cluster analysis identified five typologi-cal profiles of the influence of smoking on the implementation of family functions, namely, violation of the education-al function of the family (30.10%), general violation of family functions (24.63%), neutral influence on family func-tions (20.65%), violation of household, educational and primary control functions (15.17%), promoting the imple-mentation of family functions (9.45%).
